Sacramento, CA -- October 26, 2009 -- Employers can save time and money with
a new seamless enrollment system for core and individual voluntary benefits
enrollments. Transcend Technologies Group (dba benefitsCONNECT®), a leading
provider of online software applications for the health and benefits
industry, now offers real-time integration of benefitsCONNECT®
(http://www.benefitsconnect.net) with the Colonial Life Harmony® enrollment
system. With a few clicks, employees can seamlessly enroll in a broad range
of Colonial Life's insurance products-including life, disability, cancer,
critical illness, hospital confinement, and accident insurance-from within
benefitsCONNECT®.
Employees start in benefitsCONNECT® where they verify eligibility and census
information. After this information is saved, they are directed through
their benefits selection, including any Colonial Life benefits being
offered, which are embedded within benefitsCONNECT® through Colonial Life's
Harmony® enrollment system. After completing all elections, employees may
review their election details, which are displayed in a convenient and
understandable format.
"We are pleased to partner with Colonial Life to help facilitate an employee
enrollment process that not only streamlines enrollment, but also reduces
the administrative burden for employer groups," says Troy R. Underwood,
President and CEO of Transcend. "Being able to integrate enrollment for
benefit offerings from other carriers further extends the functionality of
benefitsCONNECT®, which is changing the way brokers and employer groups
deliver benefits."
"Through the integration of our Harmony® enrollment system, brokers and
employers who are already familiar with benefitsCONNECT® can now offer
Colonial Life benefits via a seamless enrollment process," says Ryan
Stribling, Assistant Vice President, Enrollment Technologies at Colonial
Life. "This partnership combines the leading-edge technology of both
companies with Colonial Life's nationally certified benefit counselors."
benefitsCONNECT® is an advanced Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that
automates and simplifies online benefits enrollment and increases efficiency
through agency management, making both processes painless. EDI (electronic
data interchange) services guarantee that carriers receive and process
enrollment information electronically to save time and money. In addition,
benefits communication tools help employer groups communicate the value of
their employee benefit offerings and increase overall company satisfaction.
The benefitsCONNECT® system enables brokers to upgrade their employee groups
to a powerful, streamlined, web-based enrollment and administration system
that reduces Human Resources labor costs and provides a barrier-to-entry for
competing brokers.
